Autostart an AppImage on Openbox?

Desktop Environments Openbox
1

I managed redshift and plank but I have no idea how to auto-start a app-image. It’s pcloud and created a desktop entry and it all but I don’t think I’m doing it right. I use bpswn and openbox so I created a specific autostart script for openbox.

## Restore Wallpaper
nitrogen --restore

## xfce4-settings daemon
xfsettingsd &

## Start Compositing Manager
exec compton -b &

## Launch Polybar
sh ~/.config/polybar/launch.sh

## Launch Plank
exec plank &

## Start Music Player Daemon
exec mpd &

## Notification Daemon
exec dunst &

## Thunar Daemon
exec thunar --daemon &

## Enable Super Keys For Menu
ksuperkey -e 'Super_L=Alt_L|F1' &
ksuperkey -e 'Super_R=Alt_L|F1' &

## Enable power management
xfce4-power-manager &

## Getting Started
gs_run_once.sh

## Issue Tracker
issue_tracker.sh

##p-cloud
What do I put here?!!

Pcloud appimage is stored in /home/aryan/Applications/pcloud
Desktop entry in /home/aryan/.config/autostart/pcloud.desktop

Both are exacutable but I don’t know what to right cause it’s a appImage
Thank You

You don’'t need the desktop file.

You can start pcloud by adding it to autostart (tested and it works on my system)

~/Applications/pcloud &
